This is something that I have been wanting to do for a long time. As singers, we have to wear multiple hats. Everyone of us becomes a producer when we go to make our audition pre-screen videos. We become pharmacists and chemists trying to stay healthy. We become our own PR department and Administrator when negotiating. The list goes on and on. For the longest time, I have had tons of colleagues ask me questions about what products I use to help me maintain a healthy 20+ career in this industry and I have curated my most loved and well used items that have seen me through thick and thin - from my audition dresses that have traveled well, to my suitcases that have lasted MANY audition trips, to my microphone and tripod I use to record my videos. ALL OF IT can be found right here - in my new Amazon Storefront.

The dreaded Pre-Screen Audition Video. sigh We all have to do it. There is no way around it. And unless you have the funds and time to take a trip to Opera Land Mecca aka Opera America and shell out $200 for the space to record your videos, add you accompanist fee on top of that, and it can be well worth it to YouTube it and DIY said video. The important thing to remember is that the video still needs to be high quality and give an accurate depiction of your sound. To do that, at the bare minimum, you need a good microphone and a sturdy tripod. I have used this one for years and I love it. all of the videos on my YouTube Page were recorded using my iPhone, the microphone you see below.
